Manchester city had a very good one last season, they bagged almost all of the important trophies being the UEFA Champions League, England Premier league and FA Cup but I really don't see them having any of that in this present season, not disputing the fact that they are a good team this season but the likes of Aston Villa, Liverpool,Arsenal, West ham are currently in good form which makes the Premier League tittle very open and competitive.

Since Man City's midfield maestro( Kevin De Bruyne) had an injury, the teams creativity has been nothing to write home about , since the exit of Rihad Mahrez and Gundogan, these players aided the teams victory to bagging those trophies last season and this season there hasn't been such level of creativity anymore so i doubt they will be winners of any competition.

I also see that Manchester City this season is not as strong as last season, apart from the injury suffered by Kevin De Bruyne, but overall Pep Guardiola's team is slightly lower in quality compared to last season.
However, this is only a comparison between two seasons in this one team, and even so, I still favor them in the race for the UCL title this season or they will compete fiercely to retain the title.

If Kevin De Bruyne was the reason for the Man City team's decline in performance, now he is back and let's wait and see how Kevin De Bruyne contributes to the team after the long injury he suffered.

The only dismiss i see in this Manchester City team is they dont have anymore key players for key moments like Gundogan who score for them very important goals in games where they cant score so esasily, so lets see who is gonna replaces him, for me Kevin De Bruyne is well replaced with other guys.
